Ublock Origin is an obvious one, but I also can’t stand not having Foxy Gestures anymore. It adds customizable mouse gestures, so you can set it up to have easy swipes to go back a page, reload a page, close a tab, etc, and it feels wonderful and smooth to use compared to just using the traditional buttons to do everything. Honestly it’s kinda wild to me that this isn’t more popular now that people are so used to phone gestures. It’s good for the same reasons!

    Ublock + Sponsorblock are a killer combo I couldn’t use the internet without. I also use keepa to see amazon price history.

      If you already use Ublock, isnt another blocking extension (Sponsorblock) kind of meaningless?

    Question: Does anyone know what security and privacy extensions are considered redundant in light of recent Firefox improvements in the past few years?

    For example, I saw several people recommend Privacy Badger for example. I thought I heard somewhere that was considered not needed now. I do not know for sure so am frankly confused by this and some of the other extensions which I too use to use.

    For me I have kind of stopped using most security/privacy extensions except uBlockOrigin and then just configuring Firefox rather tightly. Not sure if this is best approach or not. On one hand every extension increases the attack surface and the uniqueness of the browser so there is a point about less is better, on the other hand some may be useful too.

    Thoughts? Thanks.
